Current FW is V2.1.4.16 and the modem is Arris TM822. House is 1,900 sq ft and the satellite is about 15 feet from the main router. The main unit is directly in the center of the house, but I don't believe placement is a problem here because I experience problems even when sitting directly next to it. 2.4GHz channel is currently set to auto and 5GHz channel is set to 48. No neighbors' networks are available.
